Original British Quad Poster (30×40) for the John G. Avildsen sports classic, ROCKY (1976) starring Sylvester Stallone. Talia Shire, Burt Young, and Burgess Meredith. This emotional and inspiring tale of the unbreakable human spirit gives small time boxer Rocky the chance of his life to challenge the heavyweight champion of the world. Director Avildsen wanted the boxing scenes to be so realistic that Stallone and Carl Weathers rehearsed the fight scenes for over 35 hours to get every detail right. The film was a box office and critical success; indeed, it was nominated for 10 Academy Awards including Best Actress for Shire, Best Actor for Stallone, and Best Supporting Actor for both Young and Meredith. The film won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director to Avildsen. This original British Quad poster is in very fine condition.
